A Strange Case for Pasteur.

There was quite 8 panic yesterday
IN house in the Avenue Montaigne,
writes Paris correspondent of the
London Telegraph. A man in his
night-shirt was seen writhing and roll
ing about in the courtyard, uttering
the most appalling cries, and calling
on the neighbors to give him a wide
berth, as he was mad. The servants
and hangers on OF the esta blishment
had taken the hint and fled for their
lives. But there had been some meth
Cd IN this general sauve qui peut, for
DR.. Guerin, the weil-known physician,
and the nearest police Inspector had
been communicated with, and were
promptly on the scene. A straight
waistcoat was placed on the unfor-
tunate man, who was carried on g.
stretcher to the Beauion hospital,
while Nine. Charles de Lesseps herself
drove Off in search of NJ. Pasteur. This
is, to all appearances, a very strange
case. The invalid, Louis Teste,
27 years of age, and formerly
in the fire brigade, was in the
service of the Lesseps family. Last
Monday ne took dog of his to a vet
Urinary surgeon, who said that he
would keep it for a short time. On
the following day, when Teste called
to ask how the animal was getting on,
the surgeon replied that the dog was
mad. Teste was Mortified at the state
ment, as he remembered that only a
few days before the dog had licked
sore on his face, and when he returned
to the Avenue Montaigne he spoke of
the shock which the news caused to
him. He was extremely depressed
throughout the day, could not sleep
at night, and, going from bad to
worse, fell into a state which necessi-
tated his removal to the hospital. The
question is whether this is a genuine
case of rabies produced by the licking
of Teste's face by his dog, Or whether
the symptoms are the result of the
shock of which the man complained
working on a very imaginative nature.
The affair is exciting great deal of
interest, but M. Pasteur will in short
time be able to throw some light on
this strange case.

The Famous Greek Fire,

From Murray's Magazine
The great use made OF Greek fire in
the middle ages, SO graphically de-
scribed by Gibbon, shows an intimate
knowledge of one of the objects to
which crude petroleum could be ap-
pied. This compound enabled the
Greeks OF the Eastern Empire to hold
their own against the Saracens for
some hundreds of years, and during
two sieges Of Constantinopie gave the
victory to the Christians over their
MOslem enemies.
The terror and devastation caused
by the Greek fire seems TO have been
almost as great as that caused by ar
t1llery. 1t was blown through long
copper tubes, which were fixed in the
forepart of the imperial galleys, or on
the walls OF the Greek towns Some
times at the moment of the attack on
besleged place, great cauldrons con-
tanning the seething mixture were tilt
ed on the walls, and the contents
poured upon the assailants with ter
rible effect. It could be projected
through O. considerable space, and has
been described as rushing through the
air like q winged dragon, with the re-
port of thunder and the velocity Of
lightning. It was launched also in
red-hot balls Of iron, which fell with
disastrous effect within the walls of g.
besieged city.
It can be understood what alarm
such a combustible would cause,
especially when thrown upon and
among ignorant and half-naked op-
ponents, on whom the noise and fame
would have q terrifying effect. Even
in modern battles the results obtained
by artillery fire, especially the fire of
shells, is out of all proportion to the
number of men killed. Later, when
the secret of the Greek fire had become
known to the Saracens, and it had
been adopted by them, it's effects were
equally dreaded by the Crusaders. TIE
fact that it could not be extinguished
by water added to the terror caused
by the noise, smoke and flame. The
secret Of it's composition was care
fully guarded by the Greeks, and re-
tanned for their exclusive use for about
400 years. Fables were invented to
hide from other nations so valuable
an adjunct to the art of war, and the
barbarians were informed that it had
been revealed by an angel to Oonstan-
tine the Great, and that to commun1-
cate the secret of it's composition
would provoke the vengeance of the
God of the Christians. After the in
vention of gunpowder it was no longer
of much value. l have a formula for
the making of Greek fire, and in it
petroleum is one of the chief ingredi-
ents.

4 nurse, simple nurse; to the unthinking
Only nurse. and nothing but a name:
patient woman in her round of duty,
living ana dying all unknown to fame
Only "a nurse, messenger of mercy,
An angel sent unto our suffering race,
With quiet step and tender hand of healing,
DivillSi pity on her gentle face
When all the world lies wrapt in quiet SUM Der
Save the poor sufferer moaning on his BED,
Whose vatch!ul eye with Christian love keeps
vigil
Through the long night with silent softened
tread2
Only nurse, in duty all unshrinking;
Before such scenes, mans stouter heart would
quail;
See there! that sweet fair girl. in sorest trial
Is at her post nor will her courage fail.
The fever we but terror-struck encounter,
Or fly before with selfish coward dread;
While nurse anC doctor hasten to the rescue,
And stand unf1inchiug by the stricken bed.
Bsrk that weird bell-an accident at midnigh
The nurse and doctor, waketul, close at hand
Who minister to suffering or dying,
The hospitals heroic little band
There you or may in our need find refuge,
With kindly help and loving tender care
Respect we give those brave, unselfish women,
And night and day remember them IN prayer

State Street the other day. The guest

"Why do you call these Daniel Web

''Why," said Mr.. Keller, "because
Daniel Webster got them up. He was
the first man who ever prepared them,
and I make them from his recipe; and,
by the way, am having a copy made

AS the conversation progressed a
gentleman with long hair and with a
carpetbag between his feet, who had
been eating a plate OF oyster soup,
turned around, caught Mr.. Keller BY

"Say, mister; who got up them fish

"Daniel Webster" said Mr.. Keller.

He Made It All Right.
From the Chicago Herald.


A clothing firm occupying q promi.
nent corner in Chicago concluded
some weeks ago that on the LIST of
May it would extend it's frst-foor
room by leasing the quarters then oc-
cupied by a German saloonkeeper.
The clothing people already occupied
the floors above the saloon on lease,
ans by a sort OF agreement with the
owner of the block had call on the
ground floor whenever they were
ready to pay the rental demanded.
This time having arrived, the mana
ger of the clothing store in order to
avoid misunderstanding with the
German, and possibly to prevent
ruinous competition in bids for the
lease, called on the saloonkeeper, and
IN friendly way remarked that he
guessed his firm would take the store
room after the LIST of May, and that
the dispenser of beer and pretzels
had better be looking for new
quarters.
"But I don't want to move," pro-
tested the German.
"Well, but you'll haveto. You're a
poor man and we are rich, and we
can pay three times as much for this
room as you can. If you'll go out
quietly and make no trouble about it
we'll help you to find new place. If
you stay here at all you'll pay rent
that'l make you sick-mlnd that"
"Vell, you come in two weeks and I
dell you vot I do"
Two weeks later, or shortly before
the LIST Of May, the manager called
again. The German was all smiles.
''Dot's all right, mine vriend. You
may schtay upstairs, and I'll schtay
here. don't pay no rent at all, put
you'll pay seek hundred tollars a year
more as you paid last. I haf bought
